TVs 50 Greatest Magic Tricks

[@genemccarthy3371]

ChEssManiaC 1, David's (Copperfield) od the 'Laser Illusion' was impeccable. He is a master performer who like all geniuses, is not afraid to surround himself with others who, in ways, are as or more inventive than he alone. I book, produce and promote Illusion shows and have been working with the best, over the years. And David is deservedly, a legend! And a gentleman.

[@OleGeezerCirca1941]

I've always liked magic shows especially live performances. Starting in 1969 my wife and I enjoyed seeing the live shows in Las Vegas especially when the shows could be watched close up. You give a table captain a gambling chip of sufficient value you would get ringside seats. We saw Penn & Teller, the Pendragons, and other important and up and coming magicians of that time. The only show we walked out on early was Seigfried & Roy. They kept reminding the audience to buy their overpriced, schlock souvenirs for sale in the lobby after the show. We did not pay a hefty price for a ticket to get advertisements. We enjoyed all the other performances. 😁

[@veggiesarefruits]

I don't like how people hate on David Blaine. He single handedly made magic relevant again, and in a way that people could relate to at the time. On the street, with real, unsuspecting people, at the height of the reality TV craze. I didn't like his later, hiding in a box or freezing in ice spectacles, to be honest, but he did things we'd never seen before and made way for the hundreds of street magicians on KZbin.

[@flickingbollocks5542]

I don't hate him but there is something about him I don't like. I don't even know what it is. Same with my mate.

[@soon2bsaint680]

As a magician I agree

[@mustang8206]

Not only did he make magic popular and fun to watch again but his physical stunts pushed the very limits of the human body. How could you not enjoy someone willing to see how long he can get without breathing or eating????

[@veggiesarefruits]

@@mustang8206 eh, just a personal preference. I want to make this clear: I'm absolutely not saying that his courage and ability to push the human body far past what most had thought possible, wasn't incredible. It was! I'm talking specifically about television content. The long, televised events with the large timer at the corner of the screen while all we saw was him still sitting in the same spot, eyes closed, while some reporter told us how many hours and minutes it's been when we can already see the clock in real-time, just wasn't interesting television for me. The beginning and end portions were certainly interesting and extremely impressive! I hope I was able to clear that up for you! 🤗

[@oneofthedreamers]

I understand that this is British TV special...but they sure seemed to put the British magicians up on a pedestal. They made fun of David Copperfield a lot, but although he's cheesy, he was one of the first to truly turn a magic show into something more akin to theatre. He was one of the first to start adding theatrical story telling and drama into his pieces. The became more like performances pieces than magic tricks.

[@veggiesarefruits]

They also had a Brit explain American culture, which was not only uninformed and ignorant, but rude. He said that Brits were taught manners as if we aren't! Look up the raging problem they're having with juvenile delinquency there, and tell me if those kids would act like that for a second over here.

Watch the other 2-hour-plus video, that's really worth watching. Google... "Magicians prove the spiritual world exist-demonic activity caught on video". KZbin".

[@0iGer0]

I have something to say about the #1 trick shown in this video. Performed by Penn & Teller : the bullet catch. Know that the heat that is produced when the bullet is fired is so high that any kind of paint over the bullet would have been consumed instantly, thus making it impossible to identify them that way. So yeah, this is a sleight of hand that is pretty amazing in the end.

[@cooldawg2009]

[@razal-goo1898]

52:40 the tank extends beyond the wall so someone can climb into the tank from the top on the other side. depth perception is more difficult looking from air to water because of the high index of refraction. also wouldn't hear because sound is muffled in water. that would be my guess. if you look, you can't see the end of the tank - it looks black instead of the white color of the wall, so it either extends a long way or that black thing is some kind of divider so you don't see the end that extends to the other side of the wall

[@janelin6083]

what makes me doubt the tower bridge one: a bird covered the whole lens for 1/10 seconds and then the bridge dissapeared, which allowed for a cut and moving to a greenscreen or something,

[@eddi790]

also on his next trick, with the jeep in the desert, when the car passes the lens, watch it in 0,25 speed and hold space so it goes really slow. The car jumps back 2dm at one point, a obvious cut there, giving him space to jump into the car.

[@joeskis]

There's only a small group of people shown watching it and they are all grouped tightly together. This trick is done with perspective I think. Similar to a photo of a room put in front of a camera can lead one to think the photo is actually the room. Something similar is done here I think with the aid of mirrors.

The Kevin James sawing a person in half one is *really* cheap. The edited out a *crucial* part of the trick to make it more impressive. I really thought they'd talk about the *whole trick*, cause seeing it for the first time it's still impressive as hell, but they don't. They skip over the same exact part. When I finally saw the unedited version it took away the entire trick. Magicians have a purpose for every move they do. Every move. And as soon as the half man and legs are put on that low rolling trolley thing he gets shoved off stage, for no reason whatsoever. This is what they edit out. And then he get's shoved *back* out, then get's stapled together. If that doesn't tell you everything you need to know, then stick with being mystified, you're better off. But for me, seeing the entire act, it comes off as *kinda* creative, but ultimately comes off as a *very* cheap trick.

actually, each and every trick is real, or at least conceptually real. the directors and actors both wanted each trick to be possible, exactly like now you see me 1. The only person on that cast who dose virtually none of the actual magic, and leaves bits to CGI or to the stand ins (such as real magician blake vogt) is Jesse. Mark Ruffalo and Dave Franco were actually adiment that they do all stunts possible themselves.. almost every interview with each actor talks about the fact that they now understand how each trick in the movie is preformed IRL.
